The Sports Development Foundation Scotland (SDFS) is a registered charity established in late 2007 to allow individuals and corporations in Scotland and internationally that are interested in helping finance the development of Scottish sports facilities and increasing the competitiveness of Scottish sportsmen and women through the improvement of sports facilities. The charity is a registered, non-share holding company No: SC312077〔(Companies House )〕 and helps sports clubs, universities, sporting bodies, local and national government identify funders from the private and public sectors and individual donors, These donors will help finance the development of sports facilities in the public and private sectors that will benefit the whole community. Donors can choose the project(s) to which they wish to donate. To date, there has been limited finance available for the development of facilities for local sports organisations and for the sporting requirements of the greater communities. SDFS was formed to address that funding gap. There has been a notable problem in the financing of new sports facilities as various grant providers will not provide funding in the early development stages that would include professional fees to develop the projects such as architectural, surveying, business planning etc. This funding gap limits their opportunity to develop and then pursue other sources of funding to develop the project. SDFS allows donations to be used to pay for these professional fees. Each approved project can endeavour to raise as much capital as will be required to complete the facility and there are no limits on the number of times a club can use SDFS to finance projects in the future.〔(Statement from the SDFScotland website. )〕 SDFS will help projects identify sources of finance from other organisations and sources and will look to develop strategies with other grant providers and SportScotland to maximise the effectiveness of new developments. ==Historical development== Better Stadia Developments Scotland (Charity) Limited was incorporation date: 16 November 2006 at Companies House,〔(Companies House )〕 founded in the Hunter Centre at Strathclyde University, Scotland with advice from the Scottish Institute of Enterprise.〔(Scottish Institute for Enterprise )〕 On 10 December 2007, the Better Stadia Developments Scotland (Charity) Limited changed its name to the Sports Development Foundation Scotland with the charity being based in Glasgow, Scotland.
